Hi Mike,

I applaud your enthusiasm and am very happy seeing you test these
cards. But showing that one works on the current DVB-S Eumetcast signal
is not saying much about how it will work on the new DVB-S2 signal,
which will carry on the same transponder carrier the new upgraded high
volume Eumetcast data as well as the current data (which you are
receiving). They will both be on the same carrier and compete for the
same resources, so you can't extrapolate from now to what will be when
the full data is being transmitted. I too only need to continue
receiving the same data I do now, but I won't shell out for a new card
until it has demonstrated that it will work when the new DVB-S2 signal
is being transmitted.

Best regards and best of luck - Alan S
